for any fraction a/b, the decimal format of it is just a ÷ b.
A)
is the number rational?
well, a rational number is one we can write as a ration or fraction, well clearly is a fraction so it is rational.
B)
can it be written as a repeating/recurring decimal? well, 9/20 is 0.45, so -9/20 is -0.45, no repeating decimal like 0.454545......... , just a plain vanilla -0.45, so nope.
C)
is it less than -0.4?
well, let's recall that for the negative side on the number line, the closer to 0, the larger the number, so then -1,000,000 is much smaller than -1, because -1 is closer to 0.
who is closer -0.4 or -0.45?
|--------------------- -0.45 -------- -0.40 ------------------- 0 --------------- 1 -------------------|
so, -0.45 is farther from 0, and therefore is smaller than -0.4, so yes.
Answer:
a = 8
b ≠ 18
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 4x - 7
2y = ax + b
For there to be no solution, the lines (if graphed) should be parallel meaning that their slopes are equal but the y-intercepts are different
y = mx +b is the equation of a line where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
Multiply the first equation by 2
2y = 8x - 14
2y = ax + b
So a has to equal 8
b can be anything except 14 (otherwise the lines would be the same)
Step-by-step explanation:
The bike cost $199 to get $199 you do a number line then label 520 then at the end label 321 so then you do -20 then -100 then -50 then -20 then -9. so now you add them up 20+100+50+20+9 which equals =199
so bike cost $199
then 520%×199= 1034.8
or 520%×321=1669.2
so the percentage is 1669.2 or 1034.8 probably 1669.2 but they bot count.
